That week I tried to live on $25 for groceries was a total game changer

Game changer" feels like a really strong way to put it. It's just a week of tight grocery shopping, not some huge life lesson. People do that all the time out of need, not for a personal experiment. Makes the whole thing seem a bit over the top.

My mom did a $50 week for our family of four when I was a kid, @emery603. It meant a lot of beans, rice, and getting creative with spices. The lesson wasn't the shopping, it was seeing how much we usually wasted without thinking. That stuff sticks with you, even if it's just a week.
